The Late Princess Elisabeth de Croÿ

An inspirational lady and friend to all animals. The princess ran her own animal shelter in France where she dedicated her life to ensuring the wellbeing of the many unfortunate animals that came into her care. She campaigned relentlessly to help promote animal welfare issues at every opportunity.

The Princess was especially interested in our work in Ukraine and, on many occasions, helped the Kyiv Society for the Protection of Animals ‘SOS’ draw attention to its pioneering activities.

"The great dedication of Naturewatch and Naturewatch Foundation for animals in distress has moved me, therefore it is an honour to become one of your Patrons which I accept with gratefulness." Elisabeth, Princess de Croÿ
